Holy words from the 27th of Cheshvan 5766 strengthening the need to draw close to the true tzaddik with whom Hashem consulted in the creation of the world, and who is also a guarantor to bring the entire world to teshuvah (repentance)

"When Hashem wanted to create the world, He consulted with the souls of the tzaddikim, and created the world, as it is written "they are the creators with the King in His work." For Hashem asked the tzaddikim whether to create the world or not."

"And why did He consult the tzaddikim? Because the angels said it was not worthwhile to create man. The angels said (Gemara Sanhedrin) that it was not worthwhile to create man, as man would eventually sin and commit various transgressions, and who knows if he would do teshuvah at all. It is written (Gemara Sanhedrin) that Hashem began to burn all the angels, He burned one group, burned a second group, until He reached the third group, which said do as You wish, as You understand."

"After that, He asked the angels of truth, they said all is falsehood, He asked the angels of peace, all is strife. Then Hashem asked the tzaddikim, consulted with the tzaddikim and the tzaddikim said to create the world - the tzaddikim are responsible for ensuring that the whole world will do teshuvah. Responsible that wherever a person falls, whatever happens to him, everyone will do teshuvah."

"This is what the tzaddikim promised to Hashem, that whoever comes to them, whoever just believes in them, they will bring him to complete teshuvah."

"Rabbi Yehuda said in the name of Rav, when Hashem wanted to create man, a group of ministering angels came, He asked them do you wish that we make man, in our image, in our likeness, he will be just like Hashem, man is like Hashem, he has such powers, he encompasses the entire world. They said God forbid, what is man that You are mindful of him, this man is destined to sin against You. He will sin, he will transgress, he will desecrate Shabbat, why would You create him? So He put His finger among them, the same finger with which Hashem gave the Torah, written with the finger of Hashem, and with that finger Hashem burned the angels."

"Hashem said, with this finger I will give the Tablets, and with these Tablets everyone will do teshuvah, because when there is Torah in Israel, a person does teshuvah. Hashem gave the Torah, because if He had brought us close to Mount Sinai and not given us the Torah, it would have been enough. Kedushat Levi says, the generation on the first of Nissan already knew the entire Torah, when they reached Mount Sinai they all reached the level of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, their impurity ceased. And just as Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov knew the entire Torah."

"For they were taught Torah, a person opens his eye, the eye cries out why did you open me? Why did you burn me? You burned the neshamah! A person opened the eye, burned the neshamah! When King Mashiach comes it will also be forbidden to open the eyes, only after the resurrection of the dead will it be permissible to open the eyes. Until then, the man is clothed within the Sitra Achra, the woman is clothed within Lilith, and the bodies are not the bodies with which Hashem created the world. Only after creation, after the resurrection of the dead, will the bodies change, we will receive bodies of the resurrection of the dead where their impurity ceased, bodies from before the sin of the Golden Calf."

"Everything that happens to a person, it is so that he will have a body before the sin of the Golden Calf, like Yishai who died without sin, and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi who merited to enter Gan Eden with his body. About Yehoshua ben Levi it is written that he taught Torah to people whom no one else wanted to teach, and because of this he merited to enter Gan Eden with his body. For the moment a person teaches Torah to everyone, he himself will merit to enter Gan Eden with his body."
